Zusammenfassung:	The aim of this review was to present currently available evidence on the management of acute scaphoid fractures.

Thus, the general trend is to over-treat patients with a suspicion of scaphoid fracture. Many aspects of scaphoid fracture management are still controversial and different institutions vary in their approach.
